The peak physical strength of a Great Martial Artist is one million pounds, and with Yuan Force amplification, their attack power can reach two million pounds.
This is the combat power of an average peak Great Martial Artist.
Compared to this peak Great Martial Artist power, Ye Tian was naturally weaker now.
However, with his Top Healing Talent and the powerful Bronze-level Knife Technique Shadow Kill, his combat power would not be much weaker than the peak Great Martial Artist.
"Shadow Kill is a fast blade technique that doesn't add much to attack power—unless I can perfect it. If I could fully master Shadow Kill, it alone could multiply my attack several times. Then I could injure even peak Great Martial Artists just with attack power," Ye Tian thought.
But mastering a Bronze-level Knife Technique to perfection at the peak blade aura realm was very difficult. He would have to give up cultivating other abilities and focus only on the blade, which was impossible.
At present, unless he copied a High-grade or higher-level Knife Talent, or acquired a Knife Technique that greatly amplifies attack power, his combat power would remain limited.
"Knife Techniques that significantly amplify combat power are rare. I never saw any even after searching the black market for a long time. I can only wait for the future!" Ye Tian sighed helplessly.
The sharp rise in his combat power thrilled Ye Tian.
But compared to real strong opponents, he was still far behind and needed further improvement.
For Ye Tian, every increase in strength dramatically boosted his combat power.
For example, every additional 100 pounds of strength counted as 1,000 pounds of body strength, thanks to the High-grade Strength Talent's amplification. Adding even a little boost from Shadow Kill made it even more terrifying.
"My current body strength is 30,000 pounds. Once I reach the peak Elite Martial Artist level, I can rival peak Great Martial Artist power!"
However, Ye Tian knew his weakness: his speed was somewhat lacking.
His speed was only Basic-grade Cultivation Talent, which amplified speed by three times. While this was good for his level, it lagged far behind those above his rank.
Ye Tian set a goal to copy an Intermediate-grade or higher Speed Talent next time.
After a few days of training at home, Ye Tian went out to inquire about the situation.
In a small restaurant, Ye Tian and Wind Wolf ate in a private room while chatting.
"Wind Wolf, I've been training these days and haven't kept up with the outside news. How is the Ferocious Beast clearing mission going?" Ye Tian asked.
Wind Wolf said, "Ye Tian, I'm at too low a level to know much. I just know the two bases suffered heavy losses. Around fifty Elite Martial Artists died, and three Great Martial Artists were killed!"
"Three Great Martial Artists died?!"
Ye Tian was shocked.
Great Martial Artists were terrifying living cannons. To lose three was no small matter.
He couldn't help but sigh deeply.
He guessed the three died because they were chased down by Advanced Ferocious Beast Divine Strength Ants.
"But I heard a rumor!" Wind Wolf whispered mysteriously. "The medium base was furious and sent out a Grandmaster! I didn't know what that meant before, but now I know it's a realm above Great Martial Artist!"
"A Grandmaster intervened? What happened?" Ye Tian was curious.
"No idea, but they must have won! How could an Advanced Divine Strength Ant stand against a Grandmaster?" Wind Wolf laughed.
Ye Tian nodded silently.
Though the Advanced Divine Strength Ant had powerful attacks rivaling a Grandmaster's, its reflexes and speed were far inferior.
As long as the Grandmaster wasn't foolish enough to fight head-on, they could kill the Advanced Divine Strength Ant.
And indeed, that seemed to be the case.
Two days later, news arrived: the Divine Strength Ant nest was cleared. The biggest threat was gone, and the Ferocious Beast clearing continued.
Since Ye Tian had finished his task, he need not go out again.
Ten days passed; the mission was basically complete, and the two bases had temporarily opened a trade route.
But Ferocious Beasts were migratory; none might be present today, but new ones could arrive soon.
For the bases, the route was only temporarily safe, and caution was still necessary.
Yet many Martial Artists didn't understand why such effort was spent opening the route.
After all, what did Seaside Base have? Trading with a medium base seemed to benefit the medium base more.
One day, Wind Wolf delivered some resources to Ye Tian's home—mostly Ferocious Beast blood, meat, and a few gold cards. These were mission rewards and shares from hunting.
For Ye Tian, these were trivial but accepted.
He didn't need them now, but Ye Yu would soon train, and these resources were good for Ye Yu.
Ye Tian had planned to continue quiet training, but an unexpected visitor disturbed him.
"Who are you?" Ye Tian asked the unfamiliar man.
"I'm Mo Yuan, steward of the Mo Family," the man replied respectfully.
"Mo Family?" Ye Tian was surprised, wondering if the Mo Family had discovered Mo Shaobei's death.
But he quickly dismissed this thought.
If the Mo Family had discovered the truth, a Great Martial Artist would come, not just a Martial Artist.
"What does your family want from me?" Ye Tian asked.
"Our head wants to invite you to visit the Mo Family," Mo Yuan said.
Ye Tian maintained a calm face but laughed inwardly.
If the Mo Family knew he killed Mo Shaobei, they would be furious.
"Sorry, I'm not going out lately," Ye Tian refused bluntly.
Mo Yuan's face instantly darkened. "Ye Tian, our Mo Family has multiple Elite Martial Artists and a Great Martial Artist. Befriending us benefits you. Offending us means no place for you in Seaside Base!"
Ye Tian's eyes widened. He wanted to ask who gave Mo Yuan the confidence to threaten an Elite Martial Artist.
Just a Martial Artist threatening an Elite Martial Artist? What nerve!
"Are you threatening me?" Ye Tian asked coldly.
A blade aura flickered forth, pressing down on Mo Yuan.
In an instant, Mo Yuan felt immense pressure and broke out in cold sweat.
